Question 1:

A train has 6 passenger cars and each car has 4 columns of seats and each column holds 50 passengers.

If one of the cars has 25 empty seats, and the rest of the cars are full, how many passengers are on the

train?

Which of the following sets of equations correctly represents this situation?

Number of seats per car: 4 × 50 = 200

Total number of seats: 200 − 6 = 194

Number of passengers: 194 − 25 = p


Total number of seats: 200 × 6 = 1,200

Number of passengers: 1,200 − 25 = p


Total number of seats: 300 ÷ 4 = 75



Total number of seats: 300 ÷ 4 = 75

Number of passengers: 75 + 25 = p

Question 2:

A train has 3 passenger cars and each car has 4 columns of seats and each column holds 40 passengers.

If one of the cars has 15 people standing in addition to all of the sitting passengers, and the rest of the cars

Number of screws for both decks: 320 ÷ 2 = 160

Screws needed: 160 − 25 = s


Number of screws for both decks: 200 × 2 = 400



Number of screws for both decks: 200 ÷ 2 = 100



Number of screws for both decks: 320 × 2 = 640

Number of nails for 5 cabinets: 13 × 5 = 65

Screws needed: 65 − 55 = n

Number of nails for one cabinet: 7 × 6 = 42


Screws needed: 210 + 55 = n

Number of nails for one cabinet: 7 + 6 = 13


Screws needed: 65 + 55 = n

Number of nails for one cabinet: 7 × 6 = 42
